Pretty mask, it won't last, leave it with the past Turned to ash with all the trust you never sent my way This is a masquerade This is a masquerade, blackmail and barricade You should have stayed, I would never trade what I made For a piece of what you took from me I would never trade what I made I spoke to God, such a fraud with a face like this I stayed and prayed, warm and frayed, now the picture slips Too late for me to pray like this, still I kneel anyway I can't stay like this This is a masquerade, blackmail and barricade You should have stayed I would never trade what I made For a piece of what you took from me I would never trade what I made (Oh, oh, oh) I would never trade what I made There I lay at the temple like a tempest being tested By a ticket, light a match, let them witness all my shame Let them witness all my shame Let them witness all my shame And for I spoke my last until I saw you walking past And now I gave my talk just enough to speak again This is a masquerade This is a masquerade, blackmail and barricade You should have stayed, I would never trade what I made For a piece of what you took from me I would never trade what I made Pretty mask, it won't last Leave it with the past Pretty mask, it won't last Leave it with the past Pretty mask, it won't last Leave it with the past Pretty mask, it won't last Leave it with the past Pretty mask, it won't last Leave it with the past Pretty mask, it won't last Leave it with the past Pretty mask
